JetBrains drew inspiration from the fact that working with issue-tracking tools generally
consumes so much of developers' time. The company designed its own web-based,
keyboard-centric issue tracker to help themselves and other development teams process
bugs and requests faster and easier than ever before.

"As developers and users of our own products, we'd grown unhappy with how long it took to
report and process bugs with existing issue-tracking systems," said Vadim Gurov,
YouTrack Team Lead. "We set out to change that, and ended up with a fast, intuitive tool
that's friendly to both developers and casual bug reporters. YouTrack packs the majority
of its issue-handling functionality in just two controls — a search box and a
command window. It really couldn't be any simpler!"

YouTrack offers the following key features:

Bug reporting with a single shortcut from anywhere within the product.

Extensive keyboard support for creating, editing, and navigating between issues
easily.

AJAX-based user interface for extremely fast issue handling.

YouTrack is the first mature product developed using JetBrains Meta Programming System
(MPS). Moreover, JetBrains has been successfully using YouTrack with its own development
projects, resulting in significant time savings and enhanced user enthusiasm.
